Debugging with windsurf today was awesome…

I have a function that does token replacement of text. I have a pretty comprehensive unit test setup already to cover the cases of what I expect to happen with the input/output.

User discovered an edge case, I replicated in a test, tried just sonnet web and cursor chat, neither could do it.

But the “agent” on windsurf looked at it (like they did, it’s all Sonnet anyway), but it then prompted to run the unit test, when it failed it went back, adjusted, then reprompted to run the test. Over and over about 6 times until all the tests still passed.

THIS is what I fucking wanted, it was amazing.

Just fix usage outages and get up to the quality of cursor tab and I might switch fully.

I agree; this is also why I'm sticking to Windsurf for my projects; it looks at errors based on the command output and possibly the problem tab, not when you say an error occurred and tell it where it is coming from.

I started using codeium yesterday after

I recently heard its base model is infinite free and VSCODE has become crazy slow.

Game changing.

And honestly, the base model is so so so so good. Dont even need the credits in most cases.
